Prosecutor has tried to find foundation to ask question, he got the foundation....now court adjourned as it has now turned into a legal issue. The prosecutor has gone straight for the balls, and asked the supervisor if he felt excessive force was used. Defence is worming.
IF the supervisor says excessive force was used, then killer cop is nailed by the balls, that's why it's become a legal issue, because the supervisor would be convicting one of his own officers.
100%. Thai is where hes ****ed. I was waiting to hear chauvins himself explain his use of force but sounds like they've got there way before he's gonna have to.
Oh fk off spare us the Hollywood lovers tales..........he was a **** the cop was a **** welcome to earth
We are all ****s to some degree ... GF's brand of ****ishness didn't justify being killed in that way ... on earth ... or any planet ...
The image that stays with me from yesterday is when they dragged him onto the stretcher...cold, that includes the cops and the paramedics who should imo be the ones who orchestrate that in a dignified manner plus I felt the first paramedic was a bit flimsy...like he was ****ting it a bit incase he dropped one of his blue light pig buddies into it. Some simple technical questions he was struggling to clarify for the jury and acted like someone who just started the job last week.
Some witnesses may well be very nervous. Chauvin gets a date with the musical chair and there will be some very unhappy cops out there not to mention certain sections of the American public. Chauvin gets off, as the vast majority of cops tend to when an arrest ends in a fatality, then there will be a huge reaction from more liberal America in all it's guises and fingers will start getting pointed.
You are right in the sense that the second paramedic to take the stand appeared way more knowledgeable than the first. He was a lot more direct as well, 'he was dead.' The first paramedic seemed liked the gofer but that happens and generally works fine in teams of two. (I'm not talking about the EMT here). I think the second paramedic had to assess the scene very quickly, and once he established George was dead, he probably knew there was nothing to retrieve, hence why it appeared callous the way George was lumped onto the stretcher. Remembering also time is still a factor for any attempt at recovery. I suppose we all want someone to blame, including me and I did target the paramedics initially, but as George's brother has since said, he only blames one person, Chauvin. I get the impression that the paramedics wouldn't normally be on the scene first, but the fire brigade arrives first, as 80% of their work is medical in America, so there are still questions to answer around that, maybe I've just missed them. I'd like it clarified who should have arrived first and if they didn't why not, an assumption they were on another call by the defence is very light weight, if they know they were, then tell us that!
Without a doubt no one but Chauvin is to blame. it just annoyed me how they dragged him, dead or not, felt massively disrespectful. Just like I can’t get my head around why he remained cuffed when he had obviously passed out/died. I need no training whatsoever to know that GF was done and was not going to go full Rambo from then on...just felt a bit too shabby to me. I was waiting for one of the paramedics to demand he is uncuffed before being hauled. Just felt **** to me all around from a human perspective when I was expecting the dynamics to change on the scene upon the paramedics arrival.
Yeah, I know where you are coming from mate. It did look totally disrespectful, much as the whole situation was fooked up from beginning to end. I'm hoping one of the other cops get called up, unless they will be dealt with in separate trials. I want to know why they didn't tell Chauvin to remove his knee, as George was not struggling for something like the last 4 mins, because he had lost consciousness - restraint protocal is that as soon as the person in custody stops struggling then that type of restraint stops. Confirmed yesterday by the Supervisor.
